Chapter 2156: Agent recruitment law

Why did Marin meet with Shibel, the desolate mercenary captain, and what inspired him? Very simple, he can't recruit people in the mountains of southern Germany, but other mercenary groups can!

For example, this is Shibel, he has nothing to do with Marin. Therefore, as long as he can afford it, he can theoretically recruit a lot of people! Of course, he could not bring mercenaries across Germany to the North Sea country, because the princes would block it.

However, the "strategic roundabout" route of travel through Bohemia to the North Sea through Poland through Bohemia in the east gave Marin a great inspiration.

Yes, the German princes did not allow it, and other countries did not allow it. As for the qualifications for recruitment, the people sent by the North Sea State would not allow it. You must allow the natives to form their own mercenary groups, right?

This is similar to the "backdoor listing" of later capitalists. I am not eligible for listing, but if I have money, buying a company that is eligible for listing will achieve my goal?

In the same way, I was not qualified to recruit troops in the mountains of southern Germany, and the outsiders sent were also guarded by the princes, for fear that they were sent by the North Sea country. So, I will directly develop a local person and let him form a mercenary group in his own name. What reason do you have to stop it?

You know, the mountain people in the mountains of southern Germany are living in hardship. The southern state of Germany has a large population. So, if some locals form a mercenary group to go out and ask for a living, what else can you stop? If that is the case, it just won't give people a way to survive! If people are furious and fall into the wrong hands, it will be difficult...

…

Therefore, Marin quickly decided on a new method of recruiting mercenaries-agent recruitment method!

Specifically, the North Sea State sent spies to the mountains in southern Germany. Instead of appearing on his own, he finds an agent, forms a mercenary group in the name of an agent, and recruits enough people.

Then, take them to Beihai Country in batches. The domestic road is not easy to follow, can't we make a detour? Of course, Schebel's route is not perfect. Because the Kingdom of Bohemia is also a princely state of Germany. Although the North Sea Kingdom has a good relationship with the Jagiellonian royal family, Bohemia can allow three to five hundred people from the "straw-shoe mercenary group" to cross the border, but it will not allow thousands to cross the border.

Why? Because Bohemia is also afraid that the North Sea country is too strong and has the strength to unify Germany. Therefore, this route can be small, but not too large.

However, there is a very good opportunity right now. It was the war between Lithuania and the Grand Duchy of Moscow, such as the "Strawshoe Mercenary Corps" of Siber, who easily arrived in Bohemia in the name of serving the Jagiellonian royal family and going to the battlefield of Lithuania. Along the way, no princes stopped. Because this is righteousness!

What is righteousness? Of course it is a war with heretics (different denominations of the same religion) Orthodox Christians! Although Lithuania is not a thing, it is also a Catholic camp, and it is in conflict with the heretical Orthodox camp of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. In this era, there is no doubt that Western European countries must have no brains to stand on the side of Thuania.

Therefore, when Scherbel's "Strawshoe Mercenary Corps" raised the banner of "Apologetics" and headed to Bohemia, no one dared to stop them. Otherwise, he is a supporter of heresy!

At the moment, Lithuania and Moscow have yet to decide the outcome. Once the outcome is decided and Lithuania is defeated, then, whoever is willing to go to the battlefield in Lithuania at that time will be the warrior of apologists. Whoever dares to stop it is to have trouble with the entire Catholic world!

What? You ask these people that it's useless to recruit them. Are they going to die in Eastern Europe? In general, it is true, but there is still Marin...

When this group of people pulled to Eastern Europe, Marin almost rushed to the front line with his army. Even, because of early preparations, Marin must have arrived earlier.

As the Grand Duke of the North Sea State and the King of the United States, Marin, with such a status, coupled with his outstanding military exploits, will become the commander-in-chief of the "protectionist" army. Then, it is reasonable to gather and reorganize these novice mercenaries.

Of course, this battle is not practical for these newly recruited German mountain people. Because Marin had already prepared an elite army and secret weapons.

What Marin had to do was to take the opportunity to put these mercenaries under his command. At this time, it was impossible for the German princes to go to the border of Lithuania to intervene in Marin's behavior. And the Lithuanian aristocracy, did not harm their interests, it was a matter for them? Moreover, they have to count on Marin to help them fight the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Therefore, it will not interfere with Marin's collection of these mercenaries.

Then, when the battle is over, the mercenaries formed by the new German mountain people will follow the captives of the people of the Grand Duchy of Moscow and return to the North Sea by boat. On the sea, who can stop? Denmark has been beaten and disabled and is unable to stop it. The Hanseatic League, an ally of the North Sea State, will not stop it.

Moreover, Lübeck and Hamburg, the two kings and queens of the Hanseatic League, who controlled the Øresund Strait, did not dare to stop it. Why? Because Hamburg borders the North Sea State, Lübeck is also close to the North Sea State. Even if the two families can take advantage of the sea, their hometown can be easily breached by the North Sea country.

Therefore, when the time comes, these German mountain mercenaries who have obtained Lithuania in the name of "protection" will easily reach the North Sea country.

Once these people were eaten by Marin, no princes would dare to beep. Whoever dares to talk nonsense is tantamount to tearing his face with Marin. I was able to "conquer" this group of mercenaries in the Apologetic War, and let them "get their heads and worship", who would dare to beep?

Protecting the interests of Catholicism returns, at this time Marin has a halo added. Whoever confronts him openly is politically incorrect. As long as you have a brain, you know that you can only avoid the edge at this time. If you want to make a move, you can only make a secret move. Otherwise, the Holy See will not agree. You are so capable. Why don't you see you jump out when you support Lithuanian church members?

Want to prevent Marin from recruiting, only in the recruiting stage. Of course, when there is no war and Marin can't carry the banner of religion, it can also be prevented.

But Marin chose to take action at this point in time when the Catholic world was in conflict with the Orthodox world, and others could not openly oppose it. Unless, I want to be excommunicated by the Pope...

Of course, this also depends on the relationship with the Holy See. For example, Charles V, because he was too strong, the pope was afraid that he would make himself a puppet. Therefore, at that time, the Holy See acquiesced in France's collusion with Ottoman Turkey and jointly dealt with Charles V.

But Marin has no such worries. He is the son-in-law of the current Pope. Moreover, the next pope also bowed to him. Therefore, the Holy See is naturally on his side.

…

After talking cordially with Shibel for a while, Marin was sure that this was indeed one of his diehard fans. UU read www.uukanshu.com and then I went straight to the topic:

"Schbell, are you willing to help me do a big thing? If it is done, the hereditary fief knight will start. You can do it well, and you can even become a baron!"

Marin did not talk about his feelings and corporate culture like some of the later bosses, but directly offered his salary. For workers with no culture, what is the feelings and corporate culture? Can you eat it? Only young literary and artistic youths with little social experience will be fooled. What are the feelings for people who have experienced too much? What is corporate culture? Can you give it to the house for free? Can you send a wife? When Marin was looking for a job in his previous life, or when he was promoted to raise his salary, if the boss mentioned his feelings or corporate culture, Marin would know in his heart—this capitalist is going to be a gangster again...

Therefore, Marlin, who knows the minds of the workers, did not go around with Shibel, but directly explained the purpose.

"Hereditary knight? Baron?" Shibel heard it, and was overjoyed at first, but after all he had been the head of the mercenary for several years, and then he was bitter...

"Then, Your Majesty, what do I need to do?" Instinctively, Scherbel thought it was dangerous this time. Because, noble titles, ordinary civilians may not be able to earn them even if they struggle for their old lives. If the credit is made, it depends on whether there are noble bosses grabbing credit. And, will the employer default on the bill. Therefore, he felt that the risk factor of this matter should be hell-level...
